San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers hired Anthony Lynn to be the assistant head coach

Fantasy Impact

Lynn will be tasked with attempting to help 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan tailor a multi-faceted offense with a heavy emphasis on running the football efficiently around likely starting quarterback Trey Lance. Lynn’s run game coordination will be interesting to watch and see how wide receiver Deebo Samuel operates within it.

San Francisco 49ers defense had 2 sacks, 9 QB hits, and an interception.

Fantasy Impact

The 49ers defense almost had a game-changing interception on the Rams 4th quarter TD drive. Outside of that bobble, they played as well as they needed to, but it wasn't enough.

The San Francisco 49ers defense held the Packers in check Saturday night, holding them to 263 total yards of offense while also recording a fumble recovery, four sacks, and a blocked punt return for a touchdown in their 13-10 divisional round win over the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

The 49ers defense frustrated quarterback Aaron Rodgers and company all night long as they were unable to consistently move the ball at all. They will have to replicate that performance in the NFC championship.

The San Francisco 49ers' defense picked up three sacks and forced and recovered a fumble in a 31-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

While the defense didn't put up impressive numbers in the box score, they came through multiple times with goal-line stands in this ball game. The Falcons ran five plays at the San Francisco one-yard line and failed to score on any of them. The 49ers' offense handled their business on the other end giving San Francisco their eighth win of the year.

The San Francisco 49ers defense recorded five sacks and picked up two fumble recoveries in a 26-23 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

The Niners' defense played better than the score may indicate as they ended a ton of Bengals' drives with opportune sacks and turnovers. Joe Burrow kept the Bengals in it with a few clutch touchdown throws to Ja'Marr Chase, which forced overtime, but San Francisco was able to hold Cincinnati to a field foal in the extra period. The Niners have a nice matchup next week when they host the Atlanta Falcons. They should be started in that one.
